One-way traffic

...Huh?

Is it... already afternoon?

She glanced at the digital clock on the car's dashboard with some surprise.

It's noon.

If that's the case, then the golden-red light shimmering in the distance couldn't possibly be the light of dusk.

…So.

What is that?

--boom.

The moment this thought crossed my mind, the car was abruptly stopped.

"Whoa—?!"

The driver jolted violently and was instantly knocked unconscious.

Boom! The car was forced to stop on the side of the road due to the enormous force, but fortunately, the people inside were unharmed.

Hatsune Miku immediately got out of the car.

And what appeared before my eyes.

A figure slowly approached.

"Oh my, this is such an unexpected turn of events."

It was something no one could have imagined that someone would appear in such a place.

"I'm really something, just out hunting for a bit, and I actually caught some interesting prey?"

Fire on the right.

The red-haired man, dressed in red and gold clothing, had a hollow mark on his right hand.

The man who once sparked World War III.

Now, for no apparent reason, it appeared before her.

And their intentions... were by no means benevolent.

Chapter 728 A Familiar Yet Unique Aura

pat.

The young man stepped on the fragments of the car itself.

He casually put his hands in his pockets, looking ahead indifferently at the person who had appeared in front of him.

"what the hell."

Looking at the person who appeared before him, the young man simply responded with a casual and calm expression.

"I thought he was some reckless magician, and I figured I could just take care of him easily."

The young man tilted his head slightly.

His unhurried demeanor appeared arrogant, but in reality, the young man did not show excessive arrogance regarding his strength.

He was well aware of his own limitations, yet he still managed to maintain this relaxed and at ease expression.

It is precisely because of the certain identity he possesses.

"From this perspective, I guess I've encountered a notorious terrorist wanted by the entire world, right? Well, before this, I just seemed like an unconventional young lady."

Fire on the right.

He once caused a catastrophe known as the Third World War. He is the man who best represents the realm of "Flame" in this world. He is the chief of the Right Seat of God, the ultimate weapon of the Roman Catholic Church.

This is going to be difficult...

Hatsune Miku didn't have much interaction with this man, but she still recognized him.

Just from everything I've witnessed Right Fire do so far, it's enough to understand just how powerful this man is.

Even against beings like the demon god Othinus, he could still choose to fight against them, and with Hatsune Miku's blessing, he could unleash unparalleled power.

but.

That timeline no longer exists here.

Now, the man standing in front of him didn't recognize him at all. He even felt that he and Hatsune Miku had never met.

…and had absolutely no idea that person existed.

Hatsune Miku was fully aware of all of this.

She had absolutely no intention of treating this man as a friendly party.

and so.

Before the Right Fire could make a move, Hatsune Miku took action first.

—Her body instantly transformed into a snow-white form, like that of a witch.

Boom! !

Four enormous beams of light emerged directly from the fire on the right.

"Oh?"

The young man calmly observed all of this, a faint, indifferent smile on his face.

"What are they trying to pull?"

With a creaking sound like an electric current flashing, four different colored light bands connected directly to the four beams of light.

Wind, fire, earth, and water.

The four most basic elements of this world have now been forcibly categorized into a very unique state under Hatsune Miku's intervention.

It was like a divine intervention.

"By using specific techniques to form a barrier, and with a consciousness comparable to that of a god to summarize the origin, can one obtain this level of imprisonment technique?"

Judging from this purity, even if the Pope himself appeared, he would not be able to break through this barrier spell in a short time.

"Although the effect is similar to a magical spell, it is completely different from the magical structure of this world... Interesting. The young lady who was just as naive as a glass jar has reached this level in such a short time?"

Click.

Then, the incredible happened.

It looks like nothing has changed.

He didn't even move a finger.

It can be found near the right arm of the Fire on the right.

However, traces of movement, like flowing water, emerged.

Something deep red, more twisted.

boom----! ! ! !

Such a simple phenomenon instantly turned the entire four-sided barrier into dust.

The pillar of light, interwoven with four colors, was drawn by an even larger and very singular fire element, instantly creating a violent explosion from within.

The young man at the center of the explosion was unharmed.

From the severed right limb, a huge, crimson arm, like a phantom, was revealed.

"...!"

The right side of the divine.

The powerful arm that hovers in mid-air possesses such immense power; it is the third arm of the Right Fire.

Even though his right hand has been severed and he has lost perfect control over that arm, he can still extract the power within it and use it in battle.

Even the Pope of Rome would find it difficult to withstand such a barrier, despite his full efforts.

In his eyes, it was utterly insignificant.

however.

"Besides that, there are things that concern me even more."

Fire on the right narrowed his eyes.

He then discovered something even more important.

Actually, what really caught his attention wasn't Hatsune Miku standing right in front of him.

Although it's clear from what just happened that she's not a simple character.

but--

There is something even more important.

Two figures casually stepped out of the damaged car and stood behind Hatsune Miku.

Demon God Nephthus.

Demon Goddess.

The mere existence of these two people, in some corner of this world, is enough to make Right Fire aware of their unmistakable aura.

"...So, you became so strong because of these two demon gods?"

boom! !

Upon realizing that the opponent was a world-renowned demon god capable of shaking the world, the Right Flame did not retreat or pause.

His enormous third hand waved again.

Just like that, an endless storm instantly swept towards Hatsune Miku's direction.

boom--

"Oh dear? Your Majesty, didn't you say you wouldn't intervene no matter what? This is not what we agreed on."

"It's clearly not just me, is it? Nephthus, you yourself are also eager to make a move, aren't you?"

"Well, after all, it's a rare opponent that seems to have some value. It's quite surprising that we demon gods can encounter an evenly matched opponent."

However, that attack did not kill Hatsune Miku.

She remained standing in the same spot, but in her place, the two people behind her appeared directly in front of her.

The Empress flicked out a finger, and with such a simple movement, she directly neutralized the powerful attack from the right.

The finger instantly pierced into the invisible burst of light, making it easily erased from its very core.

"However, looking at it this way, ah, this guy isn't that strong after all."

Even the Right Fire, which strikes fear into the hearts of the world, only received this level of evaluation in front of these two demon gods.

But the fire on the right did not say anything about it.

He ignored the two demon gods' evaluation of him and continued to observe Hatsune Miku.

"In my opinion, these two demons should be helping you, right? Are they trying to help you accomplish something?"

"Who knows? Maybe he just wants to go on a killing spree?"

"Given your previous status, you should have had absolutely no reason to do these things."

The fire on the right took a step forward.

"As an idol living in the real world, you have absolutely no need to do something like this, and... teaming up with a demon god? How did you suddenly learn about the existence of demon gods?"

Originally, the young lady, who only dreamed of becoming an idol, suddenly realized a certain plan. She then approached the two demon gods at the top of the world for this plan and attacked various countries around the world to carry it out.

—Even someone with a screw loose wouldn't believe something like that.

But that's just how it is. For a while, people couldn't find the real cause of the problem, so they could only look at the situation as it was.

But the fire on the right doesn't think so.

"I can tell that the expression on your face is not what an idol should have."

"You stepped out of your idol career and into a mysterious world—in such a short time, less than a few days, less than half a month, can you really successfully transform from a role in the surface world to this extent?"
